Robber of the Rich

Description

Identified by card number 138p, this creature card belongs to the Human Archer Rogue type and carries a mana cost of {1}{R}. Designed by Paul Scott Canavan, the card has become a notable entry for collectors focusing on the Eldraine promotional series. As a two-mana creature with a power and toughness of 2/2, Robber of the Rich offers immediate board presence through its Haste ability. Its primary appeal lies in its triggered ability, which triggers whenever it attacks. If the defending player holds more cards in their hand than the controller, the card exiles the top card of their library. This mechanic provides a unique form of disruption that can shift the momentum of a game by removing key resources from an opponent's deck. For players who build Rogue-themed decks, the card offers additional utility. During any turn a Rogue is declared as an attacker, the controller may cast the exiled card immediately. This casting allows for mana to be spent as though it were any color, providing significant flexibility in spell selection and timing. This interaction makes the card valuable in formats where Rogue synergies are prominent. Collectors often seek this promo variant to complete their Throne of Eldraine sets or to add a high-rarity creature to their collection. The Mythic Rare designation highlights its status within the promotional subset, making it a desirable item for those who value both gameplay utility and set completion. Whether used in constructed play or simply admired as a piece of TCG history, Robber of the Rich remains a significant card from the 2019 Eldraine expansion.
